Very helpful mate cheers.

Mind you you need to be a bit careful with Holts. I had something from them described as "as new" recently, and so it was, if "as new" means broken barrel latch, broken safety catch, and considerable (and plainly visible) rust. Which it doesn't in my book.

Noithing that I couldn't fix, but if it had been off a member on the BBS I would have Had Words.

On the other hand I have had good stuff too, you takes your chances I suppose.

Went to their last auction in London, which was my first visit to an auction. The room was absolutely packed and nothing sold cheap! Holt's estimates seemed almost a con, on items like the "£150" 1873 11mm revolver (sold for £550 + 20%) and similarly priced chassepot rifles etc. The Viewing before the auction was more interesting with a chance to inspect the antique guns. novices might want to think twice about attending!

Interesting that lots 7021 & 7066 are CS .177 with sequential serial no.s
They'd make a nice pair for the collection ,
mmmmm........might try for those
